    I got accepted to a college that never sent me an acceptance/rejection letter. Then I figured out I got in when they sent me an email, "We assume you aren't joining our college, so we are taking your email account away".

    On a similar note, I got accepted to a college (And offered money!) which I never wrote the required essay for, or sent in the required letters of recommendation. heh.

    It's ECU. They're not too picky <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Yeah. Got a scholarship from Michigan that they explicitly said I failed to get.



    In fact, I'm pretty sure the rejection letter had the words 'flaming,' 'pile,' and 'dog excrement' in it.

    None of the colleges in N.C. are picky.

    Since Billy Donovan's coming back I think I'll return to U.F. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" />

    Actually, the one Im referring to there was a different school (Drexel university). I was going to go to Drexel... except it's obscenely expensive, even after scholarships. Ill probably transfer out of ECU later to get more specialized classes. For now Im just happy that Im pretty far away from anybody I know.

    I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to post in here since I'm already a college student, but I'll be returning to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) next fall as a junior. If there are any Pennsylvanians here, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a state school (I think PA has a deal with West Virginia that allows them to come to PA schools for the in-state price as well). The campus is really nice, it's not too small, and it's not too big (*cough* Penn State *cough*). Also, before anyone asks, I'll explain the name since I'm asked about it a lot. It's in the city of Indiana, PA (the birthplace of Jimmy Stewart) in Indiana County and has nothing to do with the state of Indiana.

    IUP!

    hehehehehehehe

    that name confused the heck outa me for a while. the BF (And now husband) of one of my good friends in college went there.

    Just b/c it is worth it, are you from Jenkintown? (apparently a massive number of peopel from Jenkintown go to IUP)

    Oh, and on the note of IUP, they also have a good teaching program where you do 5 yrs (I tihn) and come out with your teaching license. (this is what my friend's husband did)

    You think IUP's name is confusing? I live in Washington and whenever I say Washington University in St. Louis people keep thinking I'm going to some weird state college, or off to the capitol.

    Nope, I'm not even from that side of the state actually... I just go there because it's relatively cheap, and relatively far from home.

    I shall be continuing at the University of Greenwich.... hopefully.... depending on whether I passed this year. Which is likely. Avery Hill campus, in Eltham, if anyone is near there.

    Speaking of weird / annoying school names, my secondary school's name is "Wodensborough Community Technology College", which is all printed on the uniform.

    Wodensborough is also annoying to write / type on forms over and over.

    At the moment I'm going to school in Germany, but usually it's a tiny UW system university in Wisconsin that no one outside of Wisconsin or Minnesota has ever probably heard of.



    I got carded for alcohol today (...in Germany!), which officially makes me look 16; take that college senior status!

    Actually, Pennsylvania is the "Keystone State", the one that held everything together. From our perspective, all of the other states totally ripped their names off our our cities and counties. I'm sorry our naming skills are eons ahead of your own.

    (That's all a theory... I have no idea why our cities share names with your states, other than we both took the names from Europe.)

    I should be progressing to 3rd year of my 5 year university course at Strathclyde over in the UK. All depends on if i have resits and if i get away with skiping a class and doing it in 3rd year instead!

    Always wondered how different is US college to us here in the UK?
